Exposure / - •>, /. Seven members of the McHenry Fire ^ Department responded to a call from Pistakee Bay Sunday and during the bitter cold afternoon--the thermometer registering zero--did their best to check the flames that not only destroyed the H. C. Buehler summer home, but also threatened the neighboring houses; The summons came at 2 o'clock and from that time until after 8 in the evening the men, half frozen, worked ' unceasingly. Attempts, successful to some degree, were made to rescue furniture and other articles from the house but the roof finaUy caved in and the fire fighters were fortunate to es- ALUMNI DEFEATED .Ui.

The second team won over the Alumni Lights in a very fast curtain raiser. The ball was in the M. C. H. S. boys' hands most of the time, but when Green and Thomas of the Alumni. started they went right along, although they could not keep it up. Kinsala and Freund again proved to be the high scorers of the game. At the end of the first half the High School led the Alumni 10 to 5, but at the end the Alumni had gained a bit and so did our Orange and Black, making it 16 to 9. Laverne Harrison of Domm's flyweights and G. Stenger were put in during the second half and Harrison surprised everyone and himself, too ' when he grabbed the ball and shot for the wrong basket. He redeemed himself later by making a pretty long shot High School-- FG FT TM PF Freund ;... .... 2 1 0 0 Harrison ... 1 0 0 0 Barbian ... 1 0 0 1 Jepson .... 1 0 0 1 Miller ... 0 0 0 0 Kinsala . . . t s 1 2 John Fay ....... ...^ 3 2 0 Stenger ... 0 0 0 0 Total ... 7 7 3 4 Alumni-- FG FT TM PF Green .......... ... 1 " 7 5 2 Peterson .... 0 0 0 0 E.

It was found impossible to save the Buehler | the sensational shot of the game, home, attention was turned to protecting those nearby, namely, C. H. Glazier's and F. L. Herring's homes. During the battle, Walter Gorman, one of the firemen, was overcome by th<- smoke. The fire attracted the attention of many people from McHenry, Johnsburg and other places along the Fox Hver and quite a crowd turned out in spite of the cold to assist in checking it. The Buehler home was a total wreck, the loss being estimated at $20,000, which is partially covered by insurance. One great loss was the burning of a great deal of new furniture which was still crated and was being stored in the old home until the new home that the owner is erecting at the Bay should be completed. The men had found it impossible to rescue it before the building collapsed. The house at the time of the fire was occupied by Henry Kreuger of Chicago, who was acting as caretaker of the place for Mr. Buehler, the latter residing in Chicago during the winter months. The fire, which started from the fireplace, according to Mr. Kreuger, had a fairly good start before it was noticed and the McHenry fire department notified. Mr. and Mrs. Buehler were notified as soon as possible of the misfortune and arrived at Pistakee Bay while the Bremen were still at work. The fire, which resulted so disastrously for the owner, gave the McHenry firemen a chance to show they are right on the job when it comes to fighting fires. All seven who were at work in Pistakee Sunday were in a quite bad condition following their battle with the flames. They were completely exhausted with their sir hours' work and suffered a great deal from exposure. It was their energy and courage that saved the neighboring homes from u like fate, as on either side of the Buehler home was a building not more than twenty-five feet away. There is certainly a great deal of credit coming to them for their splendid work. With men of this type at work or the fire department the people of this city and surrounding territory may rest assured of speedy and courageous relief in case of fire.

Bad weather and sickness kept four of McHenry's men away from last Saturday's game This was the fastest team that the Stringerites had battled with so far this year, but were able to hold then own pretty well. From the beginning to end it was a lively game and both teams fighting to obtain the ball. Earl Conway, our giant center, was taken sick during the second quarter and had to retire from the game, but came back during the last quarter tc play again. The High School boys got off with a lightning start when the Alumni all crowded up to get the tip off and were fooled Jto see it go to Newman who dribbled down for a basket. Bonslett, W. Bacon and Winkel each succeeded in dropping in two basket? apiece for the Alumni while Walsh and L. Bacon played good games at guard. Overton and Newman proved high scorers for the High School, Dick dropping in five baskets and one free throw and Newman two baskets and three free throws, while Whiting and James Fay both hit the wicker for one each. Captain Whiting played an exceptionally good game at running guard although he was playing with a bad cold and could not get going right to hit the basket more, he deserves much credit along with John and James Fay for the victory.

Claxton and Son Have Narrow Escape (John Claxton and son, Will Claxton, who reside about a mile west of town, narrowly escaped death from asphyxiation Monday morning. Both were at work in the barn, the son in the basement and Mr. Claxton on the main floor where a gasoline tractor was being run. The pipe which was used to carry the gas outdoors in some way became disconnected with the result that the monoxide escaped into the barn. Mr. Claxton reports that he suddenly felt rather dizzy and not knowing what was wrong, tried to reach the barn door, but fell to the floor before he could do so. A little later Mrs. Claxton came to the bam to get some chicken feed and found her husband in that condition. She called to her son and he soon made his appearance but was very weak and a little later also was overcome. Help was summoned and fifteen or twenty minutes later both father and son had been revived. "They have suffered no ill effects from the affair.

The ice is about twelve inches thick on the average. The first house to be filled is the M. Bauer house. This year the ice is being cut by a "Le Roi" ice machine, which floes away with horse plows and thereby is a labor saving, as well as a time saving device.. The machine is one of the best and latest of its particular type. There is a gasoline motor attached to run the saw. The whole machine is mounted on two runners which enables it to be pushed by two men up and down the desired section of the ice field. The machine is jointly owned by C Unti, M. Bauer and Mr. Smith of Johnsburg. Tuesday noon of this week the machine was partially destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire is laid to the fact that the machine was covered by blankets to prevent freezing and that the blankets were set on fire by the hot exhaust pipe. The radiator and minor equipment adjacent to it were destroyed but the parts can be replaced. Quite fortunately the gasoline tank did not explode and thereby saved the remaining part of the machine. At the present writing it is uncertain whether or not the Borden company will put up ice this winter. The ice house belonging to C. Unti is open in readiness for this season's crop. The ice crew this year is comprised of twenty-five men, which is comparatively small with other years. The weather has been ideal for ice making and the work is progressing rapidly.

Mr. Phalin showed the comparative advantage that each year of advanced study gives to the person who has acquired that year's knowledge. The following are some of the statistics, taken from the government files in the Bureau of Education, which Mr. Phalin gave. Taking the fifth year as a starting point, involving 100 students, he took them through all the grades and high school to the end of four years of college work. The statistics are as follows : Fifth Year--100 Students. Eighth Year--64 Students. Twelfth Year--13 Students. Thirteenth Year--7 Students. Fourteenth Year--5 Students. Fifteenth Year--3 Students. Sixteenth Year--2 Students. This shows that out of every one hundred children in fifth grade (if the class is an average class) only two will graduate from college. And that out of the same number only thirteen will graduate from high school. Mr. Phalin's talk was quite live as well as educational and was enjoyed by everyone. The students wish to thank Mr. Phalin for his kindness.
